[Athen] reading aloud mathematics

[Wink Harner]

Hi Kevin,

This may work for the short run. The math must be typed in Math Type, then
using the CAT toolbar make edits & corrections before the student gets the
document.  It will be saved as a MS WORD document. Student must have a copy
of Math Type on their computer. To read it aloud, he can use CAR. CAT =
Central Access Reader. CAR = Central Access Reader. Both are free downloads
from Central Washington University. Expect a heavy work load either by you
or your staff in converting/retyping in Math Type. CAT is available from
source forge. Here's a link:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/centralaccesstoolbar/files/?source=navbar

CAR reader is available here: http://www.cwu.edu/central-access/

Once the document is prepared & saved you can open it with CAR to have it
ready math to speech.

If you have questions, contact me directly. I'll be glad to help you figure
it out.
